WHAT TIME IS IT?

THERE WAS A COUPLE WHO WENT ON A VACATION TO MEXICO. UPON ARRIVING THE MAN REALIZED THAT HE'D FORGOTTEN TO BRING HIS WATCH. SO HE DECIDED TO ASK AN OLD MEXICAN MAN SITTING ON THE SIDE OF A DUSTY ROAD ALONG SIDE HIS DONKEY. HE SAID,"EXCUSE ME SIR, DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?" THE OLD MAN GRABBED THE DONKEY'S NUTS AND PICKED THEM UP AND SAID, "IT'S 5:15,SENORE." THE MAN WAS SHOCKED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO TELL THE TIME BY THIS RATHER ODD METHOD. SO WHILE OUT AND ABOUT THE NEXT DAY, HE SAW THE OLD MAN AGAIN IN THE SAME SPOT. SO HE DECIDED TO ONCE MORE ASK THE OLD MAN THE TIME. ONCE MORE THE OLD MAN GRABBED THE DONKEY'S NUTS AND SAID, " IT'S 2:47, SENORE." THE MAN HAVING PURCHASED A NEW WATCH VERIFIED THE TIME. HE WAS PERPLEXED. SO THE FOLLOWING DAY, HE AGAIN SAW THE OLD MAN SITTING IN THE SAME SPOT. HE DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO ASK HIM HOW IT WAS HE KNEW HOW TO TELL TIME, SIMPLY BY GRABBING THE DONKEY'S NUTS. SO HE MARCHED OVER TO THE OLD MEXICAN MAN AND DEMANDED TO KNOW HOW THIS GREAT MAGIC WAS DONE. THE OLD MAN REPLIED, "WELL, YOU SEE SENORE, THERE'S A CLOCK ON THE CHURCH ACROSS THE STREET, AND I LIFT UP THE DONKEY'S NUTS SO I CAN SEE IT."
